“The East hut is close to the animals so be prepared to hear the hens and cows talking to you in the morning! In the West hut we heard nothing but the gentle breeze in the trees...” (593ruthc)

“We loved the west hut. It has a great view of the sunset. If you're going in winter, expect to need an extra layer or two. Don't be put off by this though as the warmth of the welcome and the gorgeous food makes it totally worthwhile.” (conork2013)

It was alguds nice facilities good weather and fun activities i really enjoyed it and encourage others to take part in the fun and take part in the annual mud mudder this year and years to come and enjoy the hospitality that the owners have to offer with the world

Fantastic experience. Students enjoyed the experience and we were fantastically hosted by Andrew and Kylie Stewart. Students got to enjoy a number of activities while on their camp and were put of their comfort zones at times with activities which was a good challenge for the students.

I am From France, I was in New Zealand for 8 month and Staying at the Rangitikei Farmstay was one of my Best New Zealand experience. Feeding the animals, walk in the forest, saw my friends shearing a sheep, barbecue at the end of the day, and the best part : a AWESOME starry night sky !
Thank you so...

I loved every second of staying at Rangitikei Farmstay. Had such an awesome time feeding the animals, trying my hand at shearing a sheep, and walking throughout the farm catching all the amazing views, especially at sun set and sun rise. Thanks for being such a great host and having us stay Kylie, I would recommend it to anyone wanting...

Without a doubt the single most amazing location in the Manawatu to catch the starry night sky! Night spent in a beautiful vintage cabin, with lovely animal companions around that kept us entertained the whole trip. Thank you for having us Kylie :) Send my love to Porky

Their rustic farmstay is absolutely marvellous and offers for everyone the right option from the beautiful west hut to the spacious bunkhouse, stuffed with history about the farm...

The whole experience was marvelous! Enjoyed every bit of it, from feeding the farm animals to watching the star constillation up close in the night. The hosts were very pleasant and the hospitality was great. I would totally stay there again without a doubt. Thanks for having me.

Stayed only 2 nights in the west hut. Very comfortable! Great beds, view....serenity. although we are glad we added the extra cost of access to the bunkhouse. More room, area out of rain to play and make a mess, close to the animals,
Plus PlayStation when the kids are done with roaming the paddocks.
Dog and shearing show was great....

I brought my family, including my parents and sisters with me for a 3D2N stay at Rangitikei farm in early Nov this year. Another friend of mine who resides in New Zealand also joined us at the farmstay with her two young toddlers, age 2.5 years and 5 years. That makes 8 of us.
We read a lot of good...
